Victoria Beckham doesn’t come for free—she’s (officially) a real lady.
After the fashion designer’s husband David Beckham was knighted by King Charles III last month—granting him the style of “Sir David Beckham”—Victoria confirmed she was bestowed with a new title of her own as a result.
During the Dec. 15 episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked whether the soccer legend’s knighthood made the 51-year-old “Lady Victoria,” to which she responded, “I am Lady Beckham.”
From there, Andy, 57, referenced Victoria’s iconic Spice Girls persona, inquiring whether “Lady Posh” is a moniker she would answer to.
“Listen, whatever you want,” she replied. “Anything for you.”
While Victoria—who shares kids Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, with David—was clearly tickled by her new title, the sports star offered his own playful take on how his loved ones should refer to him moving forward.

“I’m not insisting,” David, 50, told reporters after the Nov. 4 ceremony at Windsor Castle, as seen on Sky Sports. “If they would like to call me Sir Dad or Sir Son, they can. But no. It’s gonna take some getting used to people saying it, but no, it’s a huge honor.”

And all kidding aside, David—who received the honor for his contributions to sports and charitable causes—was deeply moved to be awarded the prestigious distinction.
“I cried when I first found out, and possibly for a few months after it as well,” he continued. “But this week has been really emotional because being back in London and obviously, on the lead-up to this day, it’s been not stressful, I’ve not been nervous. I’ve just been emotional.”
